Wiring a dayton 3e367 garage heater

I have a Daton Fuel Trimmer model number 3e367 that has not owner manual. The previous owner of the garage disconnected the wires and I don't know which wires go with what. I called and electrican but he was no help without an instruction manual or wiring diagram.

Contact Dayton on the internet for this problem. The diagram should be available on their site. Or they will give you a number for customer care. They can give you step-by-step instructions. I am a technician and this is what I would do as their are millions of wiring diagrams. Many are noy up to date.

Hopefully there is a wiring diagram glued to one of the panels to verify but on the transformer you will have 2, 110 volt wires. One is the power coming in (usually black wire) and the other is a common (white wire) and will be connected to other common leads. On the low voltage side of the transformer one wire will go to the thermostat then from the thermostat to the gas valve. The other side will connect to the gas valve. When the thermostat calls for heat it completes the circuit from transformer to gas valve back to transformer.

Hi,
Yes, it can be set on concrete blocks or anything non-flammable.
Also make sure that you do not run it if you are working with flammable gases or materials. I don't believe that that heater is sealed combustion.
Make sure also that you have correct venting so you don't wake up dead...
If you can take good precaution then go for it...

Sounds like you have a bolwer motor or fuel pump that has bad bearings, as it runs, it starts to bind up, and get to the point where it is pulling to much juice to turn it, and the fuse does it's job and blows?
If you could give be a bit more detail, I can help you furthur.
Please rate the new guy :)
And get back to me, so we can get the problem fixed for you.
Lets get this fixed.

On the thermostat see if it has a setting for fan on auto and off try turning the fan on then see if it comes on, if it does then it may be your thermostat has failed if it does not turn on then reset the circuit breakers to see if you have a breaker kicked off. If it was wired properly there should be one near the unit and one in the main breaker panel so be sure to reset both. To do this you must force the breaker switches all the way off then all the way on. On some breakers if you do not force it to the off position it will not reset the breaker. If this does not help let me know and I will try to help you some more just replay to the e-mail you get go to the bottom of the page and post add comment
